Move-in ready corner apartment with rooftop terrace in Almere Haven center
Key Features
Description
This fully renovated two-room apartment is situated on the top floor of a modern apartment complex in the heart of Almere Haven. Originally an office building, the property underwent a complete transformation in 2023, resulting in a contemporary residential complex that offers comfortable urban living with all essential amenities within easy reach.
The apartment spans 55 square meters of living space and features one well-proportioned bedroom, making it ideal for singles, couples, or investors seeking rental opportunities. The corner location of the property ensures maximum privacy and a spacious feel, as the apartment is positioned at the end of the gallery corridor. This strategic positioning not only provides extra natural light from multiple angles but also grants access to an additional outdoor area at the corridor's end, which can be utilized as a private lounge spot.
Upon entering the apartment on the third floor, you arrive in a welcoming hallway that leads to all rooms. The modern toilet is conveniently located near the entrance, followed by a practical storage room that houses the washing machine connections, adding to the functionality of the home.
The bedroom is notably spacious and features an opening skylight, allowing fresh air to circulate and creating a pleasant atmosphere. The adjacent bathroom has been finished to a high standard and includes a shower cabin and a vanity unit with a sink.
The living room is bright and inviting, thanks to the presence of a dormer window and two additional skylights. These architectural features flood the space with natural daylight and create an open, airy ambiance. The open-plan layout seamlessly connects the living area with the luxurious Nolte kitchen, which comes fully equipped with built-in appliances including an induction cooktop, combination microwave, refrigerator, freezer, and dishwasher. The kitchen's modern design and quality fixtures make cooking a pleasure, while the open configuration encourages social interaction.
Throughout the apartment, a stylish herringbone PVC floor has been installed, adding warmth and sophistication to the interior spaces. The walls and ceilings have been finished with clean, sleek treatments that contribute to the contemporary aesthetic.
The apartment building itself offers several shared amenities that enhance the living experience. The entrance halls are spacious and well-maintained, featuring a video intercom system for secure access. A lift installation provides convenient vertical transportation between floors. On the first floor, residents can enjoy a communal rooftop terrace, perfect for relaxation and socializing during warmer months. Bicycle storage is available on the ground floor, encouraging sustainable transportation.
The location of this property is exceptional. Situated in the vibrant center of Almere Haven, virtually every amenity is within walking distance. Shops, restaurants, cafes, and bars line the nearby streets, while the scenic boulevard with its waterfront terraces is just moments away. The harbor area offers additional recreational opportunities, including a marina and a beach suitable for swimming and watersports. Public transportation connections are excellent, with bus and potentially tram links providing easy access to other parts of Almere and beyond.
Parking in the immediate vicinity remains free of charge, which represents a significant advantage in many Dutch urban areas where parking costs can add substantially to monthly expenses.
The monthly VvE contribution amounts to approximately 139.40 euros, which covers the maintenance of common areas, building insurance, and contributions to the reserve fund. The association is properly registered with the Chamber of Commerce and holds regular annual meetings, indicating sound governance and financial management.
Energy efficiency is a strong point of this property. With an A energy label and full insulation including roof, wall, floor, and double glazing, the apartment benefits from low energy consumption and comfortable indoor temperatures throughout the year. Electric heating and an electric boiler provide the domestic hot water and heating needs.
In summary, this turnkey apartment offers a compelling combination of modern design, quality finishes, corner position privacy, shared rooftop terrace access, and an unbeatable central location in Almere Haven. The property is suitable for various buyers including first-time homeowners, downsizers, or investors looking for a low-maintenance rental property in a desirable area.
